Chapter 24: Can be sent to the Imperial Palace
Meng Changqing knew that not to mention asking the prefect for these things, even if he asked the emperor for them, the emperor could not easily take them out.
If you don't say anything else, just say that 40,000 servants can make it difficult for Wei Fangyun to die.
"There are only 50,000 people in Bishan County, and the elderly, weak, women and children should account for the vast majority of the population, and excluding those who have served hard labor this year, less than 3,000 people can be transferred.
The entire Liangzhou can't get together 40,000 servants. ”
"Uncle, help my nephew find a way!"
Wei Fangyun scratched his head, "Changqing, even if you give you 40,000 people, how can you control it?" ”
Hierarchical management, each with its own responsibilities.
She is decentralized, always monitored, and with enough energy and reliable helpers, it is possible to manage it well.
"How many guards and overseers will be assigned to 40,000 servants?" Wei Fangyun didn't have the slightest excitement at the moment, he only felt a headache. "Besides, the things you want are all lacking in Liangzhou, and I don't have enough myself, where can I give you so much?"
Meng Changqing still said the same thing, "Uncle, help my nephew think of a way!" ”
Wei Fangyun walked to the desk and sat down, "You want me to play the imperial court." ”
Meng Changqing said: "If the city wall is completed, it can weaken the threat of the Yan army to the three counties of Liangzhou, which will be of great benefit to the country, and the imperial court will not be stingy." ”
"Okay, I'll write a recital and submit it." Wei Fangyun picked up the pen and paper, and Meng Changqing immediately stepped forward to help him sharpen the ink.
But the ink-stained pen hung on the paper, but it didn't fall for a long time, "Changqing, once this matter is submitted to the imperial court, it will be a gamble on the career prospects of you and me, in case it is not done......"
Meng Changqing continued: "If it is not done well, it is small to lose your official position and dereliction of duty, and I am afraid that you will not be able to save your head." ”
"I believe you this time." Wei Fangyun put pen to paper and wrote down the matter in one go, but in the few lines of asking for things, he added some more quantity, "The DPRK and China are discussing this matter, and the household department is bound to reduce the number of requests, so add more." ”
The number given by Meng Changqing has already been added, but she said: "I see, Changqing is taught." ”
Watching Wei Fangyun copy the seal, Meng Changqing put down the ink slip in his hand, "Uncle has worked hard." ”
Wei Fangyun looked at her, "It's not hard to write a few words, but once this matter is passed in the court, it is up to you whether our heads can be saved." ”
"Thank you uncle for your trust!"
Wei Fangyun said, "I'll let the envoy expedite the performance to the capital, but it's evergreen, don't you write it?" ”
Meng Changqing didn't understand for a while, but quickly reacted, "As a county official, I only ask the adults for instructions on everything, how can I get past you and go directly to the saint?" Isn't it trespassing? ”
"Don't get me wrong, child, I'm not trying to test you, Your Majesty has written in my secret decree earlier, if there is an emergency, your letter can be attached to the family letter of the Imperial Forest Army and sent directly to the Imperial Palace."
"Huh?" Meng Changqing rarely lost his temper.
But he quickly sorted out his expression, "I already have my uncle's recital book in front of me, so I won't do much more." ”
"It's not too much." Wei Fangyun said, "Even if my manuscript is submitted urgently, it will have to pass through the Zhongshu Province, and yours will be different."
You and I sent the two letters to the capital together, and the emperor can see your letter first, so that he can prepare first, and when he submits it to my recital as soon as possible, the matter can be discussed in the court, and there is no need to wait.
Now there are only two months to go, and there is really no room for delay. ”
Meng Changqing said: "I'll write it and borrow an adult's pen and paper." ”
She took a pen and paper from the desk and was about to write, but Wei Fangyun said, "You don't have to write from the beginning, just briefly explain the situation, and then attach this official document to it."
By the way, remember to write down what is missing. Come......" he spread out his notebook, "and copy it according to me." ”
"Thank you, uncle!"
Meng Changqing quickly wrote the words, Wei Fangyun watched with his back hand, and in the lampshade at the corner of the table, the candle burned to the impurities and made a slight crackling sound.
"Alright."
"Take the envelope and put it on and go find the Guards who are following you." Wei Fangyun ran away when he saw Meng Changqing holding something, and reminded: "Bring pen and ink and let him write an envelope." ”
Meng Changqing held the letter in one hand and ran back to the room where he was waiting with pen and ink in the other.
The two people who followed her into the room were still there, and Bafang had even slept for a while, "Young Master, are you okay?" ”
"Lord White." Meng Changqing walked to Chu Mufeng's side and put down the things in his hand one by one, "I have a letter to send to you." ”
Bafang yawned, "What letter?" I'll send it for you, I'm idle anyway. ”
Chu Mufeng knew what she meant, straightened the blank envelope on the small table, and immediately picked up the pen and wrote:
Sent to the Baijia Tea Shop on Shisheng Street in East City, Beijing, the mother Wei received it, and Liangzhou Bai Mufeng picked it up.
After writing, it was also printed.
Meng Changqing thought while handing over the candles, who is his mother Wei?
It is known that his mother's surname is Bai, and Princess Rui's surname is not Wei, so this person is the emperor's side.
There was no time to think about it at the moment, after Chu Mufeng sealed her mouth, she took the letter and walked out.
Opening the door, Wei Fangyun stood at the door with a servant, "Okay?" Write it and send it to the post house with mine. ”
"It's written." She handed the letter to the officer.
When the official received it, Wei Fangyun urged him, "Go quickly!" Five-hundred-mile expedited! ”
"Yes!"
Looking at the back of the official running away, Wei Fangyun said, "Everything is waiting for the emperor's holy will." ”
"Uncle, don't wait, you give me something first, whether this wall is repaired or not, my people will have to live." Meng Changqing said, "The thirty stone of grain you gave before is really not enough to eat." ”
Wei Fangyun asked, "You gave the thirty stones of grain to the homeless?" ”
Meng Changqing looked at the other party's expression and felt a faint feeling, "No...... It's my rice, right? ”
"What do you say? Silly boy. In the whole Liangzhou, only Luojiang County grows rice, unlike the capital, ordinary people can't eat rice at all, it is His Majesty who said that you are not used to eating millet, I specially gave you in exchange. ”
Meng Changqing wanted to fly back at this time and pinch the mouths of the homeless.
"Well, I'll give you another hundred stones of grain, but this time it's not rice."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Wei Fangyun shouted loudly, "Go and call Sun Tongju over, and say that Beishan County wants grain." ”
Meng Changqing: "Uncle, is there cotton in the treasury?" ”
Wei Fangyun patted Meng Changqing on the shoulder, "Virtuous nephew, the food is squeezed out of the teeth. Look at the emperor's approval, even if the emperor does not advocate the construction of the city wall, he will not let you spend the winter like this. ”
I almost lost what I wanted for this meal.
Meng Changqing resolutely accepted it when he saw it.
Sun Tong's sentence came quickly, and the padded jacket and straps were not fastened, "My lord, I'm here." ”
Wei Fangyun spoke: "Take the officials and go to get a hundred stone millet for Lord Meng." ”
"Now?"
Meng Changqing stepped forward and bowed, "I'm tired of Sun Tong's judgment." ”
"Don't dare to be." Sun Xiang covered the place where the padded jacket entered the wind with his hand, "I'll go and call someone to borrow a car." ”
After Sun Xiang left, Wei Fangyun said: "Changqing, the hour is not early, you can rest in the mansion for one night, and it is not too late to go back tomorrow morning." ”
"I've been out for a long time, and I'm afraid that my mother will worry, so it's better to go back overnight."
"Yes, but I don't feel at ease that you are carrying so much food." He took off the sign on his waist, "You take the sign to Li Ting, and say that I will send two shifts of officials to escort you back." ”
Wei Fangyun looked at Meng Changqing's posture, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, no thanks, I still have official business to deal with, go back to the study first." ”
